aged like fine wine

kang daehyung; age 38; bilingual (possibly more); king of respect, knowing when and how to apologize, and communication. big dumb bitch for his bf. loves his bf ahn yiyoung (23) very much. age gap but handled extremely well with each character being well developed on their own and showing the differences in how they interact.

nozue, age 39; having regrets about how he has spent his life on monotonous repeat and grappling with a fear of having not done much despite being the age he currently is.

luckily, his kouhai, togawa (29), is here to help by eating pancakes with him, attempting to teach him how to do a plank, and nudging him into addressing his deep-rooted insecurities as part of his male-bonding de-aging therapy. loves sweets, sucks at exercise, can't do a plank, but he sure is trying.
